Terrell Pryor brings more than just height to the Redskins

Today the Washington Redskins participated in their second day of team OTAs. It was the first (and only) day this week that the media could attend practice and it was interesting to watch quarterback Kirk Cousins’ timing when throwing to his new crop of wideouts.

Much attention has been given to the fact that so many of his new receivers are taller than he is accustomed to but one of them, Terrelle Pryor, brings more than just height to the team.

Pryor also brings the element of being a former signal-caller himself.

For Cousins to be throwing to a former professional quarterback is alien to him. But that’s OK… he likes it. In fact, he was downright animated when talking about it.

“I love that you asked that question because it’s even caught me by surprise,” Cousins said about throwing the ball to Pryor. “I worked with a receiver Keith Nichol in college, who was a former quarterback. But Terrelle, having been a college quarterback and a pro quarterback takes it even to another level. He’s going to hold me accountable because he knows where the ball should go. If it’s Cover 2 and he knows in Cover 2 your read is over here… ‘I played quarterback, I know that…’ he’s going to hold me accountable.

“I like it because I’ve never had a conversation with a receiver like I have with him. Where he said, ‘Yea… it was 2 Invert so I took it to the post’ and, ‘It was quarters to the backside.’ I mean, he really can see it and he’s going to hold me accountable. So, I’ll take the good with the bad but I love it and just… he’s an enthusiastic guy. He’s always wanting to run another route, you know… ‘Let’s try it again. Let’s do it again.’ Just a positive attitude and he’s been a joy to work with thus far and I’m really looking forward to just… again, getting him as many touches as possible and allowing him to impact our team in any way he can.”
